I wouldn't spend more than $50 a year. I like to keep everything I do online under $500 a year and if I am spending a lot on domains, that eats away at costs for things like servers, plugins, and things of that nature.

As far as I could find, in terms of what causes it - these seem to be the main causes : Expired Certificate: The most frequent cause; the origin's SSL certificate has passed its validity date. Self-Signed Certificate: The origin uses a certificate not issued by a public Certificate Authority (CA), which Cloudflare does not trust in Strict mode. Hostname Mismatch: The certificate is issued for a different domain or subdomain than the one Cloudflare is accessing. Incomplete Certificate Chain: The origin server is missing intermediate certificates required to build a chain of trust to a root CA. Revoked Certificate: The certificate has been revoked by the issuing CA. I am not seeing any other reasons for it to happen. I have had it a few times and it was down the an expired certificate both times.

I think you should try and see what happens. If you can end up bringing in extra income from it, why not? I feel like a lot of websites use them in the early stages until they are more established and don't have to rely on them for earnings.

Does eBay or Amazon allow for digital sales by chance? If so, you can look into options on those platforms too. I know both used to allow it but I am not sure if they still do.

I tried that one. It was the closest one to Twitter that I had ever used. I enjoyed the old Twitter, X is fine though but it is the engagement. Everything is forced politics.

This happened a lot. A lot of these print shops bought each other out or merged. Like another example is RedBubble owning TeePublic. So as for these two, it seems like the only differences are Printful offers advanced branding options, better shipping, and better quality control but you earn less. Printify allows you to earn more and has a larger amount of items to put your prints on but the quality isn't as good.

I mean yeah, same here. I am trying different things but nothing is working. I have resorted to using one of my channels (I am playing around with 3 atm) to a shorts channel. Just to see if only posting shorts does anything.

Thank you for the tip! I remember seeing 9GAG ages ago but I figured the site wasn't around anymore. I will have to stockpile on some viral content to use and see what happens.

I know the feeling and I have felt that way but knowing it is not going anywhere has allowed me to embrace it a bit more. I think it can be a fantastic thing, especially in the future. The internet goes through periods where it gets worse before it gets better.

Someone I talk to on another forum mentioned this. He said most people over the age of 55 can't tell the difference between something that is AI and something that is not. Even the poorly edited stuff. It is because they did not spend a lot of their younger years online. In contrast, people 25 and younger struggle with it too because they grew up on tablets and phones as well as social media. They are easier to deceive.

Play around with AI tools and programs. That is the easiest way. You could also follow news sites or socials that keep you updated if you want. AI is not going anywhere and only going to become more and more part of out lives. It is best to know which direction it is going. A friend of mine follows it for investments. He has already tripled his net worth doing this... I am jealous but I can't understand stocks lol

Any AI really can help if you know how to use it. I don't think most people do. You have to know how to run prompts and focus a driving narrative with the AI so it ends up working the way you want it to. There are YouTube videos that teach you how to do it.

I mean yeah, to me it is. There are groups and stuff on X and celebrities. But not so much anymore. Not as active as it all once was. It really is mostly news and politics.

That seems to line up with what people recommend. I am not a heavy Instagram user but I was considering going back to my older account and refreshing it to give a boost to my YouTube channel. I noticed a lot of people saying to get conversations and stuff going in the comments.

I noticed some people use them, others don't. It seems like it is mostly a trend that has phased out. I like the idea of making a silly/funny outro but I feel like most people would just ignore it and skip it or even find it off-putting because it isn't the norm on YouTube anymore. Should I avoid doing these in videos?

I am attempting it but still trying to figure things out. It is honestly getting harder for me cause I don't see much improvements on the back end. It takes so long to edit videos too which is discouraging for me. At first I enjoyed it but now I am realizing it takes me sometimes 6 hours just to edit and do one video, and I am not making money from it... It stings.

Paid traffic doesn't do much IMO. Like others have mentioned, you are better off building up socials if you want to spend money on something like this. You can at least redirect traffic you gain there through posts back to your website.

Huh. I didn't hear about this. I guess it would make sense to move away from a model that allows for people to bot things. It makes me wonder what actually matters outside of retention time. There has to be other things that come into play here.

I am not sure where you heard this. A lot of researchers will publicly show their studies and findings online. There are entire websites just for this that allow you to look at thousands of studies stretching over several decades.

You can luck out and ranker higher in niche topics but it is a lot harder to do that now. As @GZip29 mentioned, larger sites will just snipe things from smaller ones eventually and push them back down the ranking. I don't even focus on what Google wants anymore. It is too frustrating.

Off the top of my head, Wix. They have their own built-in AI system and the platform and website software they use is super easy to navigate, even for someone with little to no experience in building websites. It can be as simple or as complex as you'd like it to be.

Mostly just focused on investing and working on building up some projects. My main income comes from my 9 to 5 still. I am hopeing to get to a point in the next 5 years where I am able to live off my passive income and quit this job.

I noticed this too and I reached out for help. It took them ages to respond but they said they are having issues right now with this. And it started at the end of June. There is a warning now on the backend of editting a video, you shoud see it.

Styles in terms of what sells and what becomes popular in mass? I really don't follow this stuff. I mean it seems like most fashion trends always come and go "out of fashion". I am just glad my niche doesn't fall under this. I would be hard pressed to actually stay on top of these trends since they seem to change every so many months.

Is it really that low in terms of people buying things? I guess that makes sense. I would imagine ads are the same way. They only actually get 20% or less people to go out and buy their product.
